OpenBio–OS: Laboratory Information Management System (OBOS LIMS)

Local-first Laboratory Information Management System built with Tauri, React, and Rust.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Rust (stable)
• Tauri prerequisites (see Tauri docs)

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Install Prisma Client Rust CLI:

   cargo install prisma-client-rust-cli

   Required only once - generates the Rust client from the schema.

Running

Start the development server:

npm run tauri dev

That's it! The Prisma client is automatically regenerated on build if the schema changes. The database file (openbio.db) is created automatically in the project root on first run.

Building

Build for production:

npm run tauri build
